INSTALLATION

A. Circuits

For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

B. Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the front or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

C. Placement of the Oven

Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart at least 100cm (39.4 inches)from floor. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for proper ventilation.

NOTES:

• Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.

D. Do not block the air vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

E. Radio interference

1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or radio reception.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures: a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the

oven. b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or TV. c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV

or radio. d. Move the microwave oven away from the

receiver. e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so

that microwave oven and receiver are on different

branch circuits .

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection. You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.

• Fast, high efficiency cooking.

• Oven and surroundings do not get hot.

• Easy clean-up.

Read this guide to learn the many different things your Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do. You will find a wide variety of cooking methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle.

• Aids in browning and seals in flavor.

• Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.

• Shortened cooking time from microwave energy.

• Browning and crisping from convection heat.

Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and sealed in juices.

Microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup

and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100%power for 1 minute. If the dish is

warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Convection Cooking

• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.

• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust.

• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking)with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450 °F)may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

BROWNING

Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce.

COVERING

A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper towels.

SPACING

Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes, and hors d ’oeuvres ’in a circle and at least 1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.

STIRRING

Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.

TURNING

Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops.

CLEANING

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The metal tray, metal rack, glass turntable and turntable roller rest are removable. They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot)water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.

ARRANGEMENT

Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.

TESTING FOR DONENESS

Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness.

STANDING TIME

Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of oven after cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10 °F during standing time.

SHIELDING

To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.

Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls

to prevent arcing.

PIERCING

Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.

• Removable parts may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause them to break during use.

• The metal tray and glass turntable may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent;then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This function allows you to cook food for a desired time. And in order to give you the best results, there are 10 power level settings in addition to HI-POWER because many food need slower cooking (at less than HI-POWER).

When cooking is complete, four short tones will sound. The word cook end shows in the display

window. Then the oven shuts itself off.

NOTE:

If you do not select the power level, the oven will operate at power HIGH. To set HI-POWER cooking, skip steps 4 & 5 above.

For Two Stage cooking, repeat microwave steps 2 through 5 on this page before touching the START pad for additional Time and Power program you want to add. Auto Weight Defrost can be programmed before the first stage to defrost first and then cook.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

Your microwave oven is equipped with ten power levels to give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking. The table below will give you some idea of which foods are prepared at each of the various power levels. *The table below shows the power level settings for your oven.
